09FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is ApplyStory different from Greenhouse or Workday?

ApplyStory replaces resume screening with structured proof, video answers, work samples, coding challenges, screen recordings, and lets AI do the first pass. It's designed for teams that care about craft, not compliance workflows.

Do candidates need to install anything?

No. Video and screen recording are built into the browser. Applications work beautifully on mobile, tablet and desktop.

How does the AI scoring work?

Every video is transcribed, every response is analyzed and every file is parsed. AI generates scores across ten dimensions and cites the exact evidence for each rating.

Can we bring our own branding?

Yes, custom colors, logo, typography, hero media, and a full company careers page on your own domain.

What integrations are available?

Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Zapier, Webhooks, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, BambooHR, HiBob, Rippling and Personio.

Is our candidate data secure?

SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SAML on Scale, GDPR compliant, EU data residency available on Enterprise.
